Who is planning on eating
Their placenta? And any recipes? I'm beginning to consider it if I can find a good recipe lol I have no idea how to encapsulate it nor do I think I'll have the time/energy being a new ftm to actually do that on my own.
I've heard its like gold for your skin.id rather put it on my face and neck then eat it. im too squeemish lol I buried my last placenta right next to a tree at mum and dads... it grew huuuuge!
Found this online!!!
Cut off the cord and membranes.
Steam the placenta, adding lemon grass, pepper and ginger to the steaming water. The placenta is "done" when no blood comes out when you pierce it with a fork.
Cut the placenta into thin slices (like making jerky) and bake in a low-heat oven (200-250 degrees F), until it is dry and crumbly (several hours).
Crush the placenta into a powder - using a food processor, blender, mortar and pestle, or by putting it in a bag and grinding it with rocks.
Put the powder into empty gel caps (available at drug and health food stores) or just add a spoonful to your cereal, blender drink, etc.
The recommended doses vary, some suggest up to 4 capsules a day, others just one. Perhaps the best advice is to take what makes you feel good

Having it encapsulated is actually very expensive. And incredibly time consuming if you plan to do it yourself at home, that's why I'm just looking to cook it lol
They put it in capsules for you and you take them. It's very high in nutrients and such and is supposed to help the mom heal faster.
It helps with vitamin b6 which prevents and helps with postpartum depression. Also increases milk supply for breast feeding moms. Contains a ton of vitamins and iron you will lose in giving birth. Humans are actually the only mammal that choose to not eat it lol all other mammals eat it as instinct.
